What is "gallbladder"?
The gallbladder is a small organ located beneath the liver on the upper right side of the abdomen. Its main function is to store and concentrate bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. When we consume fatty foods, the gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine through the bile ducts. Bile helps in the digestion and absorption of fats by breaking them down into smaller molecules. The gallbladder plays a crucial role in the digestive process by assisting in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fats, aiding in the overall digestion and absorption of nutrients in the body.
Example
The gallbladder plays a crucial role in the digestive process by storing bile produced by the liver until it's needed for digestion.
Η χοληδόχος κύστη παίζει έναν κρίσιμο ρόλο στη διαδικασία της πέψης αποθηκεύοντας τη χολή που παράγεται από το ήπαρ μέχρι να χρειαστεί για την πέψη.
When fatty foods are consumed, the gallbladder contracts and releases bile into the small intestine to help emulsify fats and aid in their digestion.
Όταν καταναλώνονται λιπαρές τροφές, η χοληδόχος κύστη συστέλλεται και απελευθερώνει χολή στο λεπτό έντερο για να βοηθήσει στη μορφοποίηση των λιπών και να συμβάλλει στην πέψη τους.
